Service intervals by mileage
| Service | Interval | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil and filter | Every 25,000–50,000 miles depending on duty cycle | Long-haul runs stretch the interval; local delivery shortens it. |
| Fuel filters | Every 25,000 miles | Protects the high-pressure fuel system. |
| DOT annual inspection | Every 12 months | Federally required; keep the certificate on file. |
| Chassis grease points | Every 10,000 miles | Prevents king pin and fifth-wheel wear. |
| Brake adjustment and lining check | Every 10,000 miles | Out-of-adjustment brakes are a top roadside violation. |
| Tire rotation and pressure audit | Every 20,000 miles | Drive tire wear drives fuel cost. |
| Coolant / DCA test | Every 6 months | Additive levels protect liners and the EGR cooler. |
| Air dryer cartridge | Every 12 months | Keeps moisture out of the air brake system. |
| DPF cleaning | Every 200,000–300,000 miles | Restores exhaust flow and fuel economy. |
Intervals are typical guidance. Always defer to your owner's manual and to severe-duty intervals if you tow, idle heavily, or drive in dust, salt or extreme heat.
